Average Payout for Firefox Referrals changed?

[Leva]

Anyone else seeing a big change in the average pay for firefox referrals?

Not talking the "up to $1.00" -- but the average over many referrals. My site gets a LOT of referrals. The average payment per referral has dropped 50% today.

Figure it could be one of two things:

(1) Glitch of some sort
(2) Google has changed the payment algorithm for Firefox Referrals

My traffic patterns haven't changed.

I had a general feeling along the same line, although I have removed and moved recently a lot of referral ads on my site, and placed some new ones where none existed before, so I am unable to confirm any recent changing trends in referral earnings, although I am seeing what you are seeing.

I did and still do convert daily hundreds of referrals, and in the past days their total earnings have been below the usual, I attributed it to the changes and tests I have been conducting on my site, and it could very well be just that.
